"This is the guest area. We are likely to need to find a living area in order to find clothes."

What stairs up or other areas are there here? I imagine that taking chunks of the building would be incredibly difficult.

In reply to Gareth (msg # 591):

Adamantine is made much as orichalcum,  through a costly process of multiple castings of earth magic.

There remains another door unchecked at the end of the hall.

Shroud seems to have been looking it over.

Re: The Black Tower

"Nice work, Shroud!"

At Haveron's urging Amelia clutches her cameo necklace and then draws her cheap broadsword, "Ready." She stands well to one side and pretty much at the rear of the group.

In reply to Safwan (msg # 601):

the thief quietly pulls the door open wide. Beyond is a strange set of stairs;
the steps have no risers. and there are no
 walls on either side. The speps look like they are floating in dark ess. the mages can see dim outlines of weak light on the edges of the steps...

Amelia moves up with the group, position unimportant compared to actually keeping moving.
